Fraternal greetings from Co Londonderry. Lovely playing from all the bands. My Dad was in our Lodge's band, Knockloughrim Accordion playing an accordion from its foundation for 50 years. He's now 81 and tries to walk a little bit to the field every 12th July and Last Saturday with his fellow Brethern and Sir Knights for the last few years and still practices on his accordion once or twice a week. The blue collarettes reminds me of one lady who asked me why some Orangemen's collarettes are blue. When I replied that I did not know she said that she was sorry for asking me as she knew that I wasn't allowed to tell outsiders the "secrets" of the Orange Lodge. I then "convinced" her that she hadn't forced me to fib and the fact of some collarettes being blue wasn't a "secret". What made me think that this was amusing was the fact that then I was an Orange and Royal Arch Purple lecturer and a few years later I became a Royal Black lecturer too. Was I offended that this lady asked me something about the Loyal Orders that I didn't know? Heck NO,I don't take life THAT seriously. I THINK that it MIGHT have something to do with the colours of William III's regiments at the Battle Of The Boyne .
